See, he looks with his eyes he smiles; presently he will say something that will delight us; some heavenly jest; some fulminating sally of wit is playing about his lips. Out with it, out with it, good Zacharias! Stand on no ceremony! We are your friends, master of reserved irony! Ha!
It was his fate to see his income gradually diminishing, being eaten away, as the sea eats away a bulwark-less shore, by successive Acts of Parliament, and the machinery they created, "for the purpose," as old Lord Ardmore was fond of fulminating, of "pillaging loyal Peter in order to pamper rebel Paul!"

At the most exciting moment, near the close of the reading, Agamemnon, with an expression of terror, pulled Solomon John aside. "I have suddenly remembered where I read about the 'fulminating paste' we made.
In France, where experiments were conducted with a 37 millimeter Maxim gun, it was found to be impracticable to use a fulminating cap sufficiently large to ignite the powder and cause it to burn. Therefore, a small ignition charge of black powder was employed, it being put in a capsule or bag and placed next the primer.
"Four hundred families could get their living from it," said Courtecuisse. "If you want two acres for yourself you must help us to drive that cur out," remarked Gaubertin.
